The Greenwood Stormwater Department manages the city’s stormwater utility, working to implement the Stormwater Management Program, protect critical infrastructure and improve the ecological health of our environment.
Greenwood’s stormwater system manages the runoff from rainfall. In nature, water flows from fields to streams to rivers and so on, but development has changed some of these natural flows. The stormwater system prevents flooding and limits pollutants flowing into streams and rivers.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention - Residential Construction Sites
The Greenwood Stormwater Department, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is pleased to offer 10 steps that will help prevent stormwater pollution on small residential construction sites.
Report a Bald Eagle Sighting
After many years trying to bring them back from near extinction, Bald Eagles are making a resurgence in Indiana. Currently, there are more than one hundred nesting pairs in our state, leading to more sightings of these stunning birds right here in our area.
Stormwater Nature Center
The Stormwater Nature Center is available to visit by appointment and also hosts various events throughout the year.
For more information or to schedule a visit call 317-887-4711.
Public Education and Outreach
Flood Mitigation Property Acquisition
In order to help protect the citizens of Greenwood from natural flooding disasters, the Greenwood Stormwater Department is participating in the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
Two-Stage Ditch
Two-stage ditches are created as regional detention facilities; to provide space for excess storage of floodwaters.
These areas promote native vegetation and slow the velocity of water flowing through the drain, improving the water quality and preventing erosion in the process.
Public-Private Partnership Program
Greenwood wants to support your project! The Stormwater Utility offers incentives to residential and non-residential Stormwater customers to encourage the construction and development of innovative green infrastructure. The incentive program includes support of many different types of efforts to facilitate:
- The safe and efficient capture and conveyance of stormwater run-off; mitigate the damaging effects of stormwater run-off.
- Effective stormwater collection and conveyance programs.
- Improvement of stormwater quality throughout Greenwood to benefit the public health, safety and welfare.
The partnership program is designed to stimulate investment and utilization of Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) that go above and beyond the minimums required by Greenwood Municipal Code and Stormwater Technical Manual.
Evaluation criteria includes:
- Total volume of run-off managed
- Water quality benefits of the project
- Amount of area of individuals impacted by the project
- Use of innovative green technology or messaging
- Public education and outreach components of the project
- Ability to leverage other funding sources including private money, grants, and donations
- Creativity
- Timing and length of the project
- Budgeting and financial considerations
- Project’s compatibility with the overall aims and goals of the Department
